Then she stoped crying for awhile and continued her oratory my son i feel stil hurted and the wound seems stil afresh imagine the pain of loosing everythings tht which belongs to u and tht which doesnt belong to you then she was interrupted by feign cough which continued for awhile and now afresh tears started encroaching in her eyes ones more no matter how hard she restrained tears imprisioned her innocent eyes then i told her to stay calm for awhile customers came to her vegetable vendoring table in the cause of the conversion but no one served them and they went away. After awhile silence she continued then then the night inferno tht happened sometymz back burnt burnt burnt burnt then she burst into tears this tyme the tears gained momentum she wiped them the more she wiped the more tears cascaded down her cheeks ,this tyme she covered her face wit her hands but she pulled me down inorder to avoid the esponaging eyes of the passerbys becoz she wanted to tell her real story so tht i share it in this domain so we set down under the her vendoring tables she cried and cried and cried and cried until even i started crying but i consoled her then she remained silent for awhile and started speaking while avoiding my eye contacts, i could see her face had turned pale red and swollen then she continued the early night inferno burnt everying by then i lost everything and then and then and now and now i am hearing the county government is saying tht their will be large scale forceful eviction by the county government y y y y y y y y y y y make us leave this place and wen stil we havent recovered from the wounds inflicted upon us by the government tht burnt our properties and the early night inferno tht blazed our business mmmmm she bited her lips deep in her i could feel she was hurted deeply.
